Waste management for exhibitors
Waste containers are available inside the exhibition center during setup and dismantling. During the event, waste containers are located between halls C–D and D–E.
Waste is sorted into seven categories:
- Cardboard/paper
- Metal
- Wood
- Hazardous waste
- Electrical and electronic waste (EE waste)
- Plastic
- Residual waste
Blue containers are for residual waste, green containers are for cardboard/paper, there are dedicated racks for plastic, and wood should be placed on pallets.
Hazardous chemicals
The organizer must ensure that each exhibitor is aware of hazardous chemicals and that these can be replaced with less hazardous alternatives or other methods (the substitution principle), in accordance with:
Product Regulations FOR 2004-06-01 no. 922
Chemical Regulations FOR-2001-04-30-433
